Age not Withstanding

Age not Withstanding 

05/18/2022

 

Her tender years oblivious to lapse of time

Enraptured every sense of my being

Earth shifted, beneath my feet, agonizing,

Aye! Triple times the clock has struck midnight 

Her youth 

Her exuberance

Drew me back to days of ignorance 

Power of reasoning momentarily dissipating 

 

Drawn to maturity, she declared

Boys her age, do not equate 

Like an empty chalice she hungered

For age and experience, as only source

I must confess it was not a matter of physicality 

As any mirror shall bear witness

For maturity demands sensibility, age not withstanding 

Her wit, beyond youth, where relationship must rest
